Is Symptoms I'm Having Be Connected To Acid Reflux?

I have been diognosed with having acid reflux and am having numbness on left side with a great deal of it in my fingers, pain all on left arm, rib cage on my left side some minor pain & numbness on the right shoulder with intense pain in the elbow area. When I breath my ribs tend to hurtas well as some pain up in the left of my ear and all around my neck area. In any event most of the pain I have is all on my left side. If these are symptoms of acid reflux is this at a danger point or can it be controlled with medication, etc?

Thanks for responding. In reference to what you stated. Since DEC. 2009 I have been admitted 3 times for the same symptoms as doctors wanted to evaluate me to see if it was my heart. However after several tests: stress test, MRI, blood work thry found nothing wrong and always claim it sounds to be only one thing Acid reflux but I'm not sure.

Hello and welcome.  We are patients on this community so I would really ask your Dr and make an appt with those symptoms.  I don't really know, but it sounds like it may be unrelated and should be checked out esp. with left side as you describe to be sure heart is ok, etc.
